So, as outlined in the recent upstairs tour of the house, we had to remove the hallway and guest bedroom carpet since they got soaked in the flood.

We threw around the idea of putting in hardwood floors in the hallway and then just new carpet in the guest bedroom and the new bedroom that was created out of the bonus room, but I really like the softness and quietness of carpet with kids running around.

(especially because they fall down, and because the hallway includes the stairway, the idea of them falling down on hardwood stairs just hurt my momma heart)

We weren't really planning on replacing carpet anytime soon as it had been in pretty good shape for being almost 20 years old, but having a transition from new hallway carpet to old carpet in some of the bedrooms would be lame....so new carpet throughout the upstairs (5 bedrooms, two hallways, and the stairs) was the conclusion.

Last Friday was the installation day.

We pulled out the carpet ourselves for a couple reasons. One, to
save money, but a bigger reason was so that we would have time to find
and secure the insane amount of squeaks.

A little bit about us...
Carmen has her degree in construction management. She loves everything that has to do with pretty architecture/decorating/remodeling, and quite frequently has projects going on which lead to messes where Curt has to (kindly and gently) remind her to put away her tools to make the space livable.
Curt is a numbers guy by profession, piano player by hobby. He helps Carmen in projects, especially if she is too short to reach something or needs help holding something up till she deems it level.
